What did Marbury say about the best in NBA history?
During an interview with host Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, Marbury shared his opinion on who the NBA‘s GOAT is. Marbury suggested that the conversation should focus on Kobe Bryant or LeBron James because he believes Michael Jordan has been elevated to a league of his own.
“LeBron’s a great player. Don’t get me wrong. A great, great player. Unbelievable. Amazing. But better than Michael Jordan? – it’s not even the same. It’s just different. In fact, it needs no explanation or explanation because we can’t talk about Jordan’s game. It’s like we need to talk about what people are not,” Marbury mentioned this in Robinson’s X, which was previously known as Twitter.
“People wanna rank Jordan? Jordan shouldn’t even be ranked. It should be Kobe, then LeBron, and then you can pick guys after that. There’s just no comparison, man. It’s not the same. It’s just different worlds. Different mentalities. I don’t know why Jordan’s name is mentioned in the same conversation sometimes. I’ll clear that up real quick… there’s really no need to talk about that.” Marbury added.
An eternal debate
Stephon Marbury’s opinion adds a new point of view to the conversation. Although their choice can generate controversy, it is important to respect the different opinions and enjoy the legacy that these players have left in basketball.
